USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Risk of a bearish continuation

  • Dollar-Yen pairing spinning near the 111.00 handle as traders await a direction for overall market sentiment heading into the new week.
  • A lower swing high on last week’s chart leaves the pair exposed to further downside as trade tensions remain piqued.
  • Friday’s NFP report saw a bounce in the USD on stronger wages, and later this week will be seeing inflation figures from the US’ CPI reading.
